Driver installed without problems on Win8 Consumer Preview, but i have Lenovo B570 and integrated and nvidia 410M videocard.
On Win7 when i run World of Warcraft it uses NVIDIA card. There is it use only integrated =(, even if i disable integrated video =(

[color="#4169E1"]I ran into a snag with the Soundblaster X-Fi driver. I forgot how I fixed it before on Win8 Developer Preview so gotta try to remember. The NVidia driver installed fine for me. I ran it as Administrator and did Custom Install with Clean Install. I did not install the 3D stuff.

I never had trouble installing any NVidia driver on Win8 Developer Preview but I am guessing there's probably going to be some issue with NVidia FXAA on Win8 Consumer Preview and that's probably the part ManuelG has held off on telling us so far.[/color]

I had to install the BETA version of the X-Fi Titanium drivers and the control panel to get audio working properly.

Having a big Problem with the recommended Driver : During the Installation I get an Error and when I try to install the Driver via the Device-Manager, I get the Information, that this Driver is not compatible with this Windows Version. It is the 295.73 - German or English the Result is the same â€¦

When you install Windows 8 you'll be able to get NVidia WDDM 1.2 drivers off of Windows Updates.
It is the same NVidia WDDM driver that was on Windows Updates for Win8 Developer Preview.

When I installed win8 I got 270.45 and it was WDDM 1.1 for me. Windows Update also couldn't find any other nvidia drivers.

I just tried it and it works for me. Are you sure you are running the Windows 8 Consumer Preview? Can you give me the exact steps you took to install the driver?
